About Jody and Joanna
ABOUT JOANNA KAMINSKA
I am the artist and designer behind Jokamin. Everything I create tells a story. The magic begins with observation – a conversation overheard, a headline, a gesture, an expression. I paint what my intuition tells me, instinctively using a naïve style to express what I see, and what I feel is true. I work with water-based gouache paints for their rich opaqueness, often adding pastels or acrylics.
My work is quirky, thought-provoking and sometimes nostalgic, with roots in the graphic art and animation tradition of Poland. It makes people laugh, reflect and connect with their own inner world.
ABOUT JODY HADLOCK
My love of history goes all the way back to junior high, when I was a member of the Junior Historians of Texas, so it’s no surprise my first novel is historical. I studied journalism at Texas A&M University and worked as a broadcast journalist for more than a decade, and then in nonprofit public relations before turning my focus to fiction.
I’d always wanted to write novels but didn’t know what I wanted to write until I learned of Diamond Bessie’s story. Historical fiction combines two things I really love: writing and history.
Reviews
Orla Harding - Ireland
“I am delighted with my new Jokamin scarf. I chose the beautiful “Marionettes” limited edition design. The scarf feels exquisite to touch, made from luxurious 100% Silk crepe-de-chine. I also love the colour palette; moody blues with pops of white, mustard yellow and vermillion. They suit my wardrobe and enhance any outfit.”
Publishers Weekly Review
“Drawing on a true story, Hadlock uses authentic period detail and well-drawn characters to pull readers into Annie/Bessie’s precarious journey toward redemption, which comes to an unexpected ending. This affecting tale of a 19th-century American woman struggling to prove her worth other than as a marriage prospect leaves a lasting impression.”
